LIFE SAVER!
I had spent hours trying to remove broken starter bolts from a Ford aluminum bell housing (another brilliant Ford design!) A little heat and this little gem had the broken studs out within 10 minutes! Awesome tool!

Saved my bacon on 5.3L Chevy manifold bolt
2006 Tahoe with 5.3L engine. Had one exhaust manifold bolt heat snap off. Working from the top I removed the plug wires, unbolted the manifold, got under the truck and pulled the exhaust down. Strapped it down. Took 2-3 attempts to get this tool firmly seated then the bolt came right out! No need to weld a nut. This was a lifesaver! Used the jack to lift exhaust back into place with new bolts and gasket. BUY THIS TOOL!

This extractor saved the day! Highly recommended
I had an exhaust stud break on my Harley motorcycle. After trying welding nuts on, vise grips and heat the stud wouldn't budge. I stumbled upon this and figured why not give it a shot. And oh man I can't stop raving about how well this worked. Clamped on The stud and had it out in seconds. Saved me from pulling the engine and paying a machine shop

This is a must have
This was a life saver. I spent hours on a rusted seized body bolt stud. I used heat and pb blaster over and over and then a large set of vice grips. The vice grips just spun on the stud. I then purchased this tool and it took 30 seconds to get the bolt out with my impact gun. This is well built and I was skeptical, but definitely worth the addition to your tool box.
Done.
Used to extract exhaust manifold studs. Same story - 23 years old studs, several days of PB Blaster and vise grips - could see it would move but didn't have my whole life to get it done.
Bought this, 15 minutes of effort to get the socket extensions and find the right spot - done.
